What is a .IGI file?
An .IGI file is a special kind of picture file made by computer programs called Indigo Renderer or Indigo RT. These programs are like digital artists that can create very realistic pictures, almost like taking a photo of a real scene, but everything is made on the computer. The .IGI file keeps a snapshot of how far along the computer is in making one of these pictures. This is really helpful because making these pictures can take a long time and use a lot of the computer's power. So, if you need to stop and do something else, you can save your progress in an .IGI file and come back to finish it later.
To open an .IGI file, you need to use the same programs that made it: Glare Technologies Indigo Renderer or Indigo RT. These programs are used by professionals who need to create very realistic images, like architects showing what a new building will look like or designers making a prototype of a new product. Indigo Renderer has more features and is a bit more powerful, while Indigo RT is simpler and costs less. You can also add Indigo Renderer to other design programs to give them the ability to create these realistic images.
Creating an .IGI file is pretty straightforward if you're using Indigo Renderer or Indigo RT. Once you've started making your picture and decide you want to take a break, you just choose the option to save your work as an .IGI file. This saves all the details about the picture you're making, and when you're ready to work on it again, you can open the .IGI file and pick up right where you left off. This way, you don't have to start all over or leave your computer running for a long time.
